Silicon Alley Insider, by way of Marketwatch, using Bureau of Labor Statistics recently highlighted the enormous dip in the number of workers employed in newspaper publishing. “It’s over” – their words, not mine.

But there’s more important data that everyone (including Real Estate Agents, Brokers, and Sellers) should think about. Using 2008 data from a report issued only last week by JP Morgans’ Imran Khan Silicon Alley Insider additionally details how advertisers continue to spend a disproportionate amount of money on newspapers relative to the amount of time and attention they garner:

Silicon Alley Insider add:

As you can see, adults are spending 29% of their time on the web, but advertisers are only putting 8% of their ad spend on the web. Meanwhile, newspapers only get 8% of our attention but 20% of the ad dollars.

Khan notes: “The rectification of this will help drive internet ad spend in 2010.”

Will this be the year that savvy Real Estate Brokerages finally move 100% of their newspaper ad revenue online?
